This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I paid twice that in taxes here in the USA and I still don't have proper health insurance. If I got sick, I would be destitute.

My local government (county and city) do this here in the US, it would be nice to see this on a state and federal level too though

Problem is in the US since so much of that is put into private sector hands we'd need to gather data on those costs outside of the taxes to put together a proper picture.
